RE: [WebDNA] Crashing again

texte = I thought I'd chime in on the server crashing problem. I recently moved my WebDNA sites to a MS 2003 Server running WebDNA 6.0a. I have no problems. Before the move I was running a MS 2000 Server with WebCat 4.0 for a little over 7 years. It operated perfectly with the exception of a few months right before I saw posts here that other people were having server crashing problems. Our server was not crashing but the WebCat service died a few times a week for those few months and the server required a reboot. For some reason just restarting WebCat would not do the trick. The only thing I saw that could have caused the problem was a number of instances of a web crawler/ search bot/ whatever that kept drilling the server. In any case the problem disappeared mysteriously after a few months and never came back. That copy of WebCat was purchased from SM but I'm not sure if the "phone home" code was in place at the time. In any case I do not think the phone home code would crash WebCat anyhow. At the time I had a laptop that I developed on with the same WebCat 4.0 installed on it and it never crashed once and I frequently had it off-line for days with no internet connection to "phone home" and die over. In any case I am thrilled with the new installation of WebDNA 6.0a on my new server. No problems. I'm happy. I also use the Developer edition on my laptop running XP Pro with no problems. For the record: I do not support a phone home "feature" but understand its intent and would support a stronger level of software registration and upgrade/patch/etc. requirements. My two cents....
